To @ZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, PAUL 'DE Susini, a citizen of the French Republic,residing at Paris, France, have invented a new and useful Iniprovementin Ether-Vapor Motors, of which the following is a specification.

My apparatus includes a vapor generator heated by steam conveyed from adistance and derived from any snit-able source, such as the exhaust ofan engine or from a boiler placed in a suitable ue to be heated by wasteheat from a furnace, the steam being conveyed to v the generator afterhaving first heated the jacket of thevapor engine to preventcondensation ot the ether vapor.

My invention also includes an oil reservoir combined with a special formofstutting box and with a receiver for the ether vapor which may escapethrough the said stuffing boxes and it includes also details hereinafterset forth.

In the drawings-Figure l. of annexed drawings shows my new motor inelevation and a section of the same through the axles of the cylinders.Fig. 2. represents a plan view ot' a section on a. b. Fig. 3. shows insection the new stuffing box used in this motor. Fig. 4. shows a sectionon line c. d. of the generator or vaporizer. Fig. 5. shows a sectionalview of :ny-new separator for the lubricating matter. V

A steam boiler ot' any ki ud,V. heated in the ordinary way and at somedistance from the vaporizer or generator supplies steam to the jackets Aof the cylinders B and C in which the vapor of ether works with doubleexpansion. After having circulated through the jackets A the steampasses out through a pipe I) which surrounds the vapor pipe E and intothe upper chamber F of the vapor generator G to pass farther into thetubes a., and from there into the lower chamber I-I and also into thejacket I of the generator. The space be# tween the chambers F and II andthe jacket I contains the ether which is to be vaporized and throughwhich all the tubes cirun. The steam circulates through these tubes andthe jackets and imparts all its caloric to the ether which thenvaporizcs. The vapor of ether thus generated passes through theconductingpipe Eto the slide valve B of the small cylinder B and then,after having worked with a first expansion it passes through theconducting part .I of the steam jacket to the space K to feed the slidevalve c ot' the large cylinder C where the ether vapor works with asecond expansion to escape then through the pipe L to the condenser witha surface of whatever kind,which works by wateror moist air, passinginto the separator U. The escap ing vapor ot ether of the large cylinderreaches the extremity of the conducting pipes L at X where it iinds noother outlet than through the meshes (more or less large) of severalsuperposed metallic or other sieves ns. In consequence of the frictionot the vapor of ether against these meshes a certain quantity oi' thelubricating matter adheres to the threads of l vthe meshes and runsoutside of L in one ot the annular parts of the separator U'iuconsequence ot the presence of a conical groove inside of L. Coming outot the meshes fr the vapor enters a series of annular spaces e formed bythe covers fand g of the separator and by the circular plates 7i whetherjoined The connection between the spaces is made so that the ether vapormust pass through the entire elevation of the annular spaces c going upand down alternately and coming in contact with the walls of saidspaces. This contact will cause the vapor of ether to deposit a certainquantity of lubricating matter upon the sheet iron h and thislubricating matter will run oft along the walls upon the inferior coverg. The metallic or other meshes which are placed between the spaces haveno other object Athan to compel the ether to abandon the lubricatingmatter. On leaving the last space, the ether vapor which is now almostrid of its lubricating matter, goes to the other part of the pipe Lwhich is fixed upon the condenser, in order to reach the same, passingagain through tissues placed at the entrance ot L as shown in dottedlines of Fig. 5. The lubricating matter it still contains is caught hereand will run ott to the conical capf, to fall into the outer space ofthe separator.

In order to prevent the lubricating matter deposited at the bottom ofthe annular spaces to come up again along the circular walls h whichcould happen in consequence of the rapidity wherewith the ether vaporrushes off, I have provided small inclined iianges which retain thelubricating matter at the entrance IOO ot the metallic meshes andfacilitates the running oi ot the part which has been abandoned upon themeshes. In order to prevent the lubrication matter which falls under thetop cap ffrorn coming again into the pipe L, I put a cone there, whichguides the lubricating matter and directs the same to a circular conicalgroove cl. Cocks 7c placed upon pipes Z fixed into common bottom g ofthe spaces e allow the running off of the lubricating matter outside.The liquid ether produced by the condensation is taken back to thegenerator G bya feed pump N in order to vaporize and to commence againthe cycle we have Just described. Reservoirs O, P, Q, R, of glycerine 0rany other lubricating matter which will not combine with ether areconnected with stuiiing boxes o, p, q, o, to automatically lubricate thesliding rods of the latter and to retain at their passage the vapor ofether which might escape accidentally. The reservoirs O. I). Q. R, areconnected by the conducting pipes s, t, u, QJ, provided with cocks s',t', u', fu', with a receiver S which is used to feed the reservoirs andtoallow the retaining of the ether vapor which might escape, indicatingto the engineer the stuffing .box where they escape from by the means ofa manometer T which can be put in connection with either of thereservoirs O. I). Q. R. by the cocks s', t', u', fu. The engineer canthen tighten the stuffing box which is designated. After this, the ethervapor produced by accidentally escaping, gathered as it is in thereceiver S is'sent tothe condenser M to be condensed and to be led backto the generator in a liquid state by the pump N. The stuffing boxes o,p, q, fr, are double; having an upper gland above the reservoir and alower gland below the same each gland having packing and rundles orrings V on each side of the packing. Between the adjacent rings of theglands is a concentric, accordion shaped sleeve which is perforated andresilient to hold the rings elastically while permitting the free accessot the lubricant.

I claim- 1. In combination in a vapor engine, the cylinder and piston,the stuiing boxes, the reservoirs for the lubricant communicating withthe said stuffing boxes, the receiver for the escaping vapor, the pipeconnections therefrom tothe several boxes said pipes having suitablevalves and the manometer on the receiver substantially as described.

2. In combination in a vapor engine, the cylinder and piston, thestuffing boxes for the piston, the oil reservoir in communication withthe stuing box, the receiver for the escaping vapor and the connectiontherefrom to the stuing box, substantially as described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
